✧ Opening on the Voie verte, followed by the opening of the exhibition Ressources Sensibles at The Villa du Parc ✧
Wed, Apr 29, 2026, 2 – 9 PM
The opening takes the form of a cross-border walk along the Voie verte, from Geneva to Annemasse. Accompanied by live music, the route connects several sites of the Biennale and invites visitors to discover the artworks in situ, alongside contributions from artists and public representatives. This gradual journey offers a perspective on the themes of natural resources before concluding with the opening reception at Villa du Parc.
